What possible rewards might come from exploring the seas for new lands?
Possible rewards that might come from exploring the seas for new lands could be expansion of the nation, discovery of new people and geography. Expanding nations will bring more power to that nation. New discovery of people and geography will expands their knowledge about other foreign countries and develop new relationships which is also beneficial for their own nation.
What are the risks involved in embarking on a voyage into the unknown?
The risks involved in embarking on a voyage into the unknown is that the environments are different from where they used to be at. The people are different, weather is different, and lifestyles are also different. Different people can cause miscommunications and it will be extremely hard to communicated with each other. Weather could also be different. Different weather could cause troubles for people to adapt to the weathers. Most importantly, the risks involved in embarking on a voyage to the unknown is that the people there are highly likely to have different lifestyles. The newcomers will have to try to fit into their lifestyles to fit into those natives existing in the unknown lands.
What will you do if you actually run into other people?
If I actually do run into other people, I would talk to them and try to figure out what kind of language they speak. I would also closely watch the lifestyles of the natives and try to be helpful and fit in so that they won't do any harm to me. When I feel like I finally belong there, I would start to think of ways to get out of there and get back to my homelands. I certainly won't do anything that would make them mad or annoyed, and just go with the flow.
Compass
Compass is a navigational instrument that has an extremely light magnetized needle with no friction that shows the direction of magnetic north. Compass's needle points to North Pole no matter where you are. The magnetic field of earth attracts the N-pole needle toward the North Pole. Compass shows which way is North. Without compass, it would be hard to tell which way is North and be clueless about where you are headed to. m

Identify the cause of African slavery
African slavery caused as New England colonies settled in America, and due to this huge colonization, they needed workers. At first, they used Native Americans as their workers. But as the many Native Americans died because of the European disease, demand for African slaves increased. Some people of Africa, such as their leaders, weren't against slavery because in exchange of their captives, they would get supplies, weapons, goods, and money from the Europeans.
Explain the triangular trade route
The triangle trade was started at Europe. For one part of the triangular trade, route, Europe would go to Africa with their good to exchange them with African slaves. They exchanged manufactured goods with slaves. They packed their slaves tightly in their ship and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and sold the slaves in the West Indies. With that money, they bought sugar, coffee, and tobacco and sailed back to Europe with those goods. On the other route, merchants carried goods such as rum from the New England colonies to Africa and exchanged them with Africans. These Africans were again sent to the West Indies and were sold for sugar and molasses which were sold to rum producers in New England. Middle Passage was the passage the African slaves from West Indies were transported to South and North America. On board, African slaves went through many torturous events. Many died form injuries and diseases.
Identify the consequences of the slave trade.
Consequences of the slave trade were good for New England countries, but not for Africa. As the slaves were sent to America for work, Africa lost many of their fittest members of their tribe, torn away from the families, and as gun as introduced to Africa, more violence occurred. But as for American, its economy grew because of the African slaves' labor. Also, Africa's culture of arts, music, religion, and culture also spread through America and influenced the societies.
